Another Exciting New Program

Pre-Listing Inspection The process is the same as the buyer’s inspection We have performed close to 200 pre-listing inspections to date Our goal is to eliminate the inspection by the buyer Of the pre-listing inspections we have done on homes that have sold, 80% of the buyers have elected not to do an inspection Of the 20% that did do inspections, nothing new was found

How to use the pre-listing inspection Make notes on the report of the seller’s intentions on the findings –Repaired –Will repair before closing –As is (excluded) –Negotiable Make the report available to prospective buyers so they can review the findings

How to use the pre-listing inspection(cont) If an offer is made subject to a buyer’s inspection, accept the offer but exclude everything that was on the Star Home Inspection report Since they knew what the seller is willing to do or not do they should have made their offer accordingly. With this process, 80% of the buyer’s have elected to forego an inspection of their own The other 20% have not found anything new

Pre-listing Inspection Unique Guarantee If the seller follows our guidelines and requirements we guarantee the buyer’s inspector will not find anything new that the seller will be required to repair. If that happens Star Home Inspections will pay 50% of the seller’s cost of repairs up to $1000. Both seller and Star Home Inspection Services will have a cost of $500 each.

This message captures the callers name and phone number and it is immediately and automatically ed to the agent. This is a great lead source for the agent.

Other Benefits on Pre-Listing Inspections 10 days free advertising in the Kansas City Star using the same 800 number but a different ID. These leads are also ed to the agent and the ID determines the source of the lead. Was it generated by the yard sign or advertisement? A link for the agent’s MLS website so that showing agents can view the report.

Home Warranty As an option, we also make available to the seller a 120-day Home Warranty that can be transferred to the buyer. This warranty is provided at no additional cost to the seller. We understand the agent can also sell a 1- year warranty to the seller so we always get the agent’s approval first before offering this with the pre-listing inspection.
